Neighborhood in the news. The Washington Post showcased the North College Park neighborhoods of Hollywood, Branchville and Daniels Park in a lengthy April 10 feature article about the advocacy efforts of their residents.
“The community benefits from engaged neighbors who know how to work together,” reporter Iris Vukmanovic wrote, pointing to their efforts to save the Hollywood Farmers Market through an email-writing campaign that flooded College Park City Councilmembers’ inboxes with nearly 100 messages of support.
The article traces the history of the neighborhoods beginning in the early 1900s and notes “the community’s passion for walking and biking” and its “sense of community in part because of its tremendous diversity.”
